I'm so sorry they are treating you that way! It is unfortunate that some people who legitimately need opioids have such trouble getting them. And you're right, you can't just quit taking it! Methadone withdrawal is horrible. I watched my husband withdraw off opioids several times and he was a wreck. Resorted to buying suboxone off the street when he couldn't get in touch with his addiction pdoc. My husband was addicted though, mentally as well as physically.

I am torn on this issue because I think doctors (at least in NJ) are too free with opioids. At least my husband's doctor was. But then there are people like you who really need them.

I hope you are able to get a prescription before it runs out.
